Beauty queen Shelby Tribble has fought back against online trolls who called her ugly

She said: "I remember crying when I first read it (the Czech article) and it really annoyed me because one of the pictures they used wasn't my best picture and got me at a bad angle.

"I didn't even realise that they had put something up about it until I saw an article on it.

"It's ridiculous because everybody has difference faces and there are bigger girls and smaller girls.

"Everyone is different shapes and sizes and what's beautiful to one person might not be beautiful to another." In her short career, Shelby has won a series of beauty pageants - including Miss South West, Miss Hippodrome 2014, Miss Loaded 2014 and has been a Miss England finalist.

She said: "In these competitions it's about being beautiful on the inside.

"I don't really care about the comments - you know why you look at celebrities that everyone gets slagged off.

"I think some people would react differently but I've got a good family, boyfriend and friends who will all support me and would not let something like that affect me." Karen, Shelby's mum, said: "We're all so proud of her; it's all starting to happen for her.

"We do miss her, and it's really hard for her up there on her own, but it's the right thing for her career."
